Official Roy Hibbert Twitter thread.

I figured, that this would be a good idea for a thread , so that now we have an official thread to place his twitter updates ... Instead of seeing multiple threads , everytime he says something cool or gives us some insider news.. heh

Watching tape of me against A. Bogut. Off and Def. He kicked my *** last year. Gotta learn from it. Next up B Lopez, Dwight and Al horford.

Re: Official Roy Hibbert Twitter thread.

Roy was asked earlier in the week ,to the question on why he wears the arm brace/pad ...

He responded today ...
..

"I have a lil bursitis in my elbow. It swells up when I elbow people or dive on the ground. Compression on it is needed.I actually need it. "about 16 hours ago via Twitter for BlackBerry®

This to me says that a lot of players wear those arm guards/ braces as more of a fashion statement than anything. Just like headbands used to be the hot thing, and for a while all the superstars were wearing tights on their legs until Stern banned them. Hell Ray Allen likes those arm braces so much he usually wears one on each arm.

Some players wear it to keep their arms warm. That's not necessarily "needing" it, so maybe that's what Roy was referring too.

But I've heard the elbow thing a few times. That might be pretty common too.
